I was taking another look at:
http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/Containers-Lists-Unbounded.ads.html and
I had a question....

We've got here a Stream_Read and a Stream_Write procedure. Is there any
reason not to have a Stream_Input and Stream_Output as well? Would it make
more sense to have a Stream_Class_Read/Input/Write/Output? I'm thinking that
'Input and 'Output are likely to be more useful than 'Read and 'Write
(although requiring more space) and I'm not sure about the class-wide ops.

I'm guessing that there would eventually be some version of "for List'Read
use Stream_Read..." and so forth?
